1. SPORT AND SCHOOL Sports are considered a very important part of school programs for many reasons. We started our work asking ourselves some questions:

2. WHY SPORT?

3. SPORT CAN IMPROVE OUR LIVES IN SO MANY WAYS

4. PLAYING SPORTS WILL KEEP YOU IN SHAPE AND PREVENT OBESITY

5. PEOPLE WHO PLAY SPORTS FEEL BETTER ABOUT THEMSELVES

6. PEOPLE WHO PLAY SPORTS DO BETTER IN SCHOOL AND IN WORK

7. TEENS PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS OFTEN HAVE HIGH SELF-ESTEEM AND SEE THEMSELVES IN A POSITIVE LIGHT

8. SPORT GIVES CHILDREN A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO MEET AND INTERACT

9. IT DEVELOPS SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY, SELF DISCIPLINE, PATIENCE, COURAGE, RESPECT OF RULES, COOPERATION, LOYALTY

10. IT CAN CONTRIBUTE TO HEALTHIER LIFESTYLES

11. IT ALLOWS YOU TO EXPERIENCE SUCCESS BUT ALSO FAILURE

12. WHEN …AND …WHERE

13. Sport has been practiced since the second half of 700 B.C. when the Greeks organized the first Olympiad. Here’s a map of the place where games started. One of these places is Sybaris, where we live, THE MAGNA GRECIA.

17. PAST AND PRESENT

18. INTERVIEW TO GRANDPARENTS

19. WHAT DID YOU PLAY WITH WHO BOUGHT THE TOYS HOW MANY TOYS DID YOU HAVE? HOW DID THEY WORK? WHO DID YOU PLAY WITH? WHERE DID YOU PLAY? DID YOU HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO PLAY?

20. OLD GAMES AND TOYS

21. CHILDREN FOUND OUT: THEIR GRANDPARENTS PLAYED ALMOST ALWAYS OUTDOORS, ON THE STREET IN THE COUNTRY THE CARS WERE VERY FEW PEOPLE KNEW EACH OTHER AND THERE WERE NOT SO MANY DANGERS

23. HIDE AND SEEK

24. PLAY THE ROPE

28. GRANDPARENTS ALSO PLAYED WITH SIMPLE OBJECTS AND TOYS THAT WERE OFTEN MADE BY THEMSELVES

38. TODAY LIFESTYLES HAVE PROFOUNDLY CHANGED. CHILDREN AND BOYS SPEND MOST OF THEIR TIME PLAYING WITH VIDEOGAMES, COMPUTERS.

39. THEY MOVE VERY LITTLE SPEND HOURS WATCHING TV, EATING TOO MUCH AND GETTING FAT.

40. PUPILS OF THE FIFTH CLASSES HAVE ALSO INTERVIEWED THEIR FRIENDS OF THE FIRST CLASSES TO FIND OUT WHETHER CHILDREN AGED BETWEEN 6 AND 10 YEARS IN CORIGLIANO PERFORM PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

41. IN OUR SCHOOL SPORTS ARE VERY IMPORTANT, BUT THERE’S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOL

42. PRIMARY SCHOOL SECONDARY SCHOOL 1 HOUR A WEEK 2 HOURS A WEEK GENERALIST TEACHERSSPECIALIST TEACHERS

43. IN THE SECONDARY SCHOOL THEY USUALLY PLAY VOLLEYBALL, FOOTBALL, DO ATHLETICS.

44. BESIDES THE NORMAL HOURS INCLUDED IN THE CURRICULUM, EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES, ORGANIZED AND SUPPORTED ON THE INITIATIVE OF REGIONAL, LOCAL, NATIONAL AUTHORITIES AND ASSOCIATIONS, TAKE PLACE OUTSIDE THE TIME NORMALLY DEVOTED TO THE SCHOOL CURRICULUM, EVEN FOR CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES AND SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS. THESE COMPETITIONS PROGRESS FROM SCHOOL, LOCAL AND REGIONAL STAGES TO A FINAL NATIONAL LEVEL.

45. OUR SCHOOL HAS ALWAYS BEEN INVOLVED IN SPORTS EVENTS AND OUR STUDENTS ARE OFTEN WINNERS AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTOS
